Apokalypse: Kingdom of Shadows
With the darkness that shadows the end of each day, the air hangs heavily with the stench of rot and fear, a grim perfume for the imminent doom ahead. In the darkness, evil is awakened and runs with a restless energy—to overtake our world for all time. The final screams echo from shattered windows – screams that may be your own as you venture deeper into this story. As you step into this hollowed-out world, you'll confront the specters and learn that Apokalypse has a memory, and it's here to show you everything you have most feared. Are you brave enough?
While you are enjoying the private lounge in McGuireWoods Gallery, here's what's happening in the Quad?
The Halloween spirits will get loud every night of the holiday celebration, with our House DJ Emcee and Premium Saturday Nights of live music in our central quad, which also serves as the check-in area and ‘virtual line’ for all parts of the event which includes Haunted Trails and other exciting activities for all! The slate of live entertainment will be updated on our website and ticketing pages over the next weeks. The House DJ Emcee party and concerts are free of charge to attend, even for those who have not purchased Haunted Trails tickets. Light fare, snacks, soft drinks, craft beer, select wines, themed-specialty drinks, and select souvenir merchandise will be available for purchase on campus.
Attractions Details-
· The Horsemen – Rated PG (ticketed trail event) following inspiration from the legendary, mythical harbingers of Apokalypse stand ready to usher in the terrors that await! A story driven walking trail experience with scares and special effects.
· Blood and Rust – Rated PG-13 (ticketed trail event) a makeshift compound has promise for safety and security away from the dread of the Apokalypse, but once invited to the sanctuary- unexpected secrets are unveiled. A more intense, aggressive experience.
